The structure of the Assembly Tree enables full control over the components and their display.
For each sub-assembly and component, the hide/show status, color, render mode (shade / transparency / wireframe) and fix/float characteristics can be set. If these characteristics are set at the sub-assembly level, all items under the sub-assembly will have the same characteristics; however, if a sub-assembly component is active and the sub-assembly is hidden, the active component will not be hidden.
A Hide, Show or Mixed icon at the folder level is used to denote the display status of components under the folder. Selecting Hide or Show at the folder level, hides or shows all the components under the folder.
